About D3 Embedded
Founded in 1999 and headquartered near Rochester, New York, D3 Embedded is an embedded-systems developer and original design manufacturer operating as Define Design Deploy Corp. The company integrates cameras, radar, high-speed connectivity, edge compute and AI into production-ready systems, and reports more than 500 customer projects across six continents.
Its robotics work includes an eight-camera perception system brought to production for Scythe Robotics and a five-camera vision system produced for Ghost Robotics. D3 also develops DesignCore radar and embedded-vision platforms around technology from NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Sony and Valens. The company supports product architecture, validation and scalable US and offshore manufacturing rather than acting only as a component reseller.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-03-16 - Demonstration - D3 Embedded showcases synchronized multimodal robot perception at NVIDIA GTC
The collaborative-robot pipeline combines stereo D3 GMSL2 cameras, a Connect Tech Gauntlet carrier and Jetson AGX Thor with Nemotron-7B, DINO, Nano-SAM2 and GraspGen. A second system aggregates five sensors across RGB mono, stereo and LWIR thermal modalities through NVIDIA IGX Thor Mini and Holoscan. The multimodal sensing pipeline provides sub-microsecond PTP synchronization across distributed platforms.
Source - 2025-08-28 - Partnership - Advantech and D3 Embedded launch integrated AMR sense-and-compute collaboration
The AFE-R360 supports up to six concurrent GMSL cameras, while the chassis-based AFE-R760 supports four. The package combines Advantech AFE-R360/R760 compute with D3 Embedded DesignCore Discovery ISX031 PRO cameras and RealSense D457 cameras. The joint platform targets AI-powered object sensing and recognition for industrial autonomous mobile robots.
Source - 2023-12-19 - Product Launch - D3 Embedded launches RS-2944A radar evaluation kit
The 76–81 GHz design combined four transmitters and four receivers with an Arm Cortex-R5F, C66x DSP and radar accelerator. A USB-C interface supplied power and serial access; an optional baseboard connector exposed additional vehicle and embedded interfaces. The kit shipped with TI SDK-compatible board-support firmware and was offered online from $799 for evaluation and algorithm development.

The sensor packaged a 76–81 GHz, two-transmitter/three-receiver radar in a one-inch body with a heatsink and mounting tabs. An Arm Cortex-M4F at 160 MHz and a radar accelerator processed signals; USB-C provided power and serial output for evaluation. D3 announced a future $299 unit price and listed parking assistance, kick-to-open, collision avoidance and level sensing as intended applications.
Source - 2023-07-11 - Product Launch - D3 Embedded launches RS-L6432U miniature radar sensor
The one-inch sensor combined a heatsink and mounting tabs with a 57–64 GHz radar front end using two transmitters and three receivers. A 160 MHz Arm Cortex-M4F and TI radar accelerator supported processing, while USB-C provided power and serial data output. D3 offered the TI SDK-preprogrammed sensor online for $299; proposed uses included occupant monitoring, presence sensing and facility automation.
